Good/Bad Contest News

So I’m going through the Child’s Play contest winners, getting all the information ready to send on to the authors, when I notice something – not everyone has contacted me!  Holy cow people.  So now I need to redraw a few names – it’s been two weeks after all.

This is going to be a little tricky since everyone who entered did end up winning something.  So this is what I did.  Instead of going back through and figuring out the 300+ entries, and since this is a redraw, everyone is only getting one entry.  Plus, anyone who has already won an author/publisher package was ineligible to win one of the two that had to be redrawn.  However, if you did won one of the packages, you were eligible for the individual prizes that needed to be redrawn.  As with all my contests, I threw all the names into the List Randomizer, scrambled them up a bit and then had the Research Randomizer pick a few numbers.

For those who have contacted me (and head’s up authors), I am starting to forward everyone’s information on and should be finished by Monday (*knock on wood*).  Please allow a couple of weeks for prizes to start showing up as I have no control over when the authors will send them out.

Now, on to the new winners:

  1. Myranda H. – Author Pkg #2 – a signed novel off of Anya Bast’s backlist (winners choice); a signed copy of Poison Kissed by Erica Hayes; a signed Ghostworld novel by Jory Strong (winners choice); a signed copy of Glimmerglass by Jenna Black; a signed WVMP Vampires set by Jeri Smith-Ready – Wicked Game, Bad to the Bone, Bring on the Night along with a WVMP button; a signed copy of First Blood by Meljean Brook; and a signed copy of The First Book of Grimm by Shiloh Walker.
  2. Becky B. – Author Pkg #4 – signed copies of Deadly Fear and Belong to the Night by Cynthia Eden; a signed copy of Gentlemen Prefer Succubi by Jill Myles plus swag; a signed copy of Grave Witch by Kalayna Price; a signed copy of the Iron Witch by Karen Mahoney; a signed copy of First Blood by Meljean Brook; a signed ARC of Never Again by Michele Bardsley and a $25 gc to Starbucks; a signed copy of Deadtown by Nancy Holzner plus bookmarks; an ARC of Hunter’s Fall by Shiloh Walker (to be mailed out later in the spring); Novel with signed bookplate from Nancy Holder; and a cover flat of Death’s Sweet Embrace by Tracey O’Hara plus a bookmark, postcard and magnet.
  3. Marcia C., stampitchick and Van P – Bell Bridge Set, which includes Once Bitten and Twice Dead by Kalayna Price
  4. Amy – Winners choice of a signed Jess Haines novel – Hunted by the Others, Taken by the Others or Nocturnal
  5. Nellie – A signed set of the Disillusionists series by Carolyn Crane – Mind Games and Double Cross

So that’s the news.  Whether it’s good or bad depends on your point of view I guess.  However, I do have some great news for those who are new winners.  If you were one who had sent me your information (via the form) for one of the other prizes, I already have your information, so no worries. However, there are two winners I haven’t heard from yet, so hopefully they’ll see this and fill out the form. If I haven’t heard from them by Monday, I’ll redraw their prizes.

I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.
